About Me

(A Glimpse of Who I Am)

Intro

My journey into the world of technology started with a simple "Hello World" program in C over a decade ago. Since then, I've transformed that curiosity into a career as a software engineer, but my passion for exploring new things goes beyond just code. I'm constantly looking to expand my horizons, learn new technologies, and find innovative ways to solve real-world problems.

Work

With over 9 years of experience, I've had the opportunity to work across various industries and domains, gaining a wide range of technical and leadership skills. Here's a quick overview of my professional journey:

  • Full Stack Development: Skilled in both backend (Node.js, Python) and frontend (React, JavaScript) development, building scalable, high-performance applications.
  • System Design & Architecture: Experience in designing and architecting complex systems for startups, ensuring scalability, security, and performance.
  • Startup Culture: Thrived in fast-paced startup environments where I contributed to product development, engineering processes, and helped scale systems from the ground up.
  • Leadership & Mentorship: Mentored junior developers, led technical teams, and collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to meet business goals.
  • Healthcare & Matchmaking Expertise: Worked on industry-specific platforms, particularly in healthcare (PocketPills) and dating, bringing technical innovation to solve real-world problems.

My work ethos is all about delivering high-quality solutions while constantly learning and adapting to new challenges, especially in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

Interests & Hobbies

Beyond the screen, I enjoy connecting with nature, whether that's through long walks, bike rides, or stargazing with my telescope, especially when it's a clear night and I can indulge in my love for astronomy. I've also got a competitive side, and you'll often find me playing 8 ball pool or snooker. Outdoor sports like tennis, badminton, swimming, pickleball, and even ice skating occasionally sneak into my schedule.

In my downtime, I love getting lost in movies and TV series. Harry Potter holds a special place in my heart, and I'm also drawn to intellectually stimulating shows like The Big Bang Theory. I can't resist a good Christopher Nolan movie—Inception, Interstellar, and most recently, Oppenheimer are among my favorites.

Spending time with loved ones is essential to me. I love spending time with my wife, hanging out with my friends, and people around me, sharing experiences and conversations that go beyond the usual.

So, while I'm deeply passionate about technology, it's these moments outside of work—whether under the stars or with the people I care about—that truly makes my life exciting.
